MBC still hasn’t found the ratings mojos that some of the other networks have managed to scrounge back and I’m not sure this next Mon-Tues drama will bring in tons more viewers even if it’s good.

Daaaaaaang, this was the shot to the heart I needed to start the anticipation countdown for the biggest K-drama of 2020 – Kim Eun Sook‘s newly penned fantasy romance The King: Eternal Sovereign with Lee Min Ho in their second collaboration together after Heirs.

This is not a bad thing to have, ratings return all over K-drama airing so much so that a small cable network drama like jTBC success story Itaewon Class getting 12% ratings by week four seems like business as usual. Episode 5 got 12.289% and episode 6 increased slightly to 12.562%, with audience feedback still highly positive for this underdog … Continue reading →
K-actress Kim Tae Hee isn’t renowned just because she’s naturally beautiful but also because she’s a graduate of Seoul University so is both enviable brains and beauty.
